People are swayed by biased narrative, even when they know the bias. More information later does not always help. Awareness ≠ Correction.

Biased narratives are everywhere and pose challenges to society. Many advocate for awareness campaigns, assuming that awareness leads to correction. Experiments suggest otherwise.
